yeah, I have these IR blasters I got from SmartHome that sticks on the front. Problem is I have a Motorola box, and they just suck out loud for channel changing. Tivo was flawless on our old Scientific Atlanta.

Even changing channels using the remote it messes up, so I can't blame TiVo.. I'm going to try that link you sent though. looks as if I'm not the only one having trouble on a Moto box.

the directTV ppl called yesterday and postponed my installating from yesterday to Tuesday. Thank God (or whatever noodly appendaged being you may worship) that I have the new X-Men Legends game or I may have been angry!
